Title: Anyone want to do a cam chain?
Post by: davidkent on 01 December 2014, 08:18:52 am: I do apologise if this is in the wrong place.

I bought all the stuff to do my cam chain and have decided I don't really fancy the job.

I'm in the Wiltshire Somerset area and don't mind dropping you the bike within reasonable distances.

Anyone fancy it?
Split link chain so no engine out or engine split business.

Cheers guys

Post by: davidkent on 02 December 2014, 06:19:13 pm: Nothing specific really.

Time is always short I've been working a lot and don't want to find myself rushing and stuff.

And not sure that my chain tool will do the job and if it does are the pin ends peened over enough etc.

Thought I'd be confident but in reality If a reasonable quote comes up ill pay to have it done.

If the cash is useful to someone on here then the job can go to themy as lon as they know the can do the job fine

Cheers

Post by: Deefer666 on 03 December 2014, 09:32:53 am: I have always been unhappy about ever fitting a split cam chain, and don't normally do it, I normally only ever fit continuous cam chains....BUT I am willing to do it as my work is slowing down at the moment. 4 Hours labour @ £30 an hour... Any good to ya?

Post by: davidkent on 03 December 2014, 09:35:45 am: That seems fair to me.

Is there a train station near by?
Probably have to drop it on a Saturday and collect the following Saturday if that's any good?

When's best for you really as I'm in no urgency as it has no tax or insurance at the moment but I can sort those out easily enough

Cheers

Post by: Deefer666 on 03 December 2014, 07:00:35 pm: no train station nearby although I am sure I can or the wife can give you a lift to the station.... when do you want it done?

Post by: davidkent on 03 December 2014, 07:09:05 pm: No urgency as wasn't planning on using it any time soon. There's an oil leak that looks to require welding too :(

Inbox me and we can talk if you like? But no urgency either way :)

Out of interest (I may need mine doing soon), how much would you charge to fit an endless one instead?

Post by: davidkent on 04 December 2014, 04:18:14 pm: Fair question. I think mine is endless but I bought the extra soft link.

I'm assuming a lot of extra parts are required though?
